Today before I left for work I ate a small handful of mixed nuts. Specifically Planter's Pistachio mix. I didn't count or measure how many or how much, but I think a safe estimate is about 1 oz.
For lunch I had 2 Land 'O 'Lakes snack cheeses, a medium-ish Haas Avocado, half a container of lunch meat, and some mayo.
For supper, I baked some cheddar cheese slices on a silicone mat. I friend some hot dogs in bacon grease, and when the cheese was just slightly golden brown, I plopped a hot dog in the middle of it a rolled it up. I ate two of those and one frank by itself. I also ate about 7 grape tomatoes (watch the sugar in these), because I was hungry before the food was ready. For a side, I fried a bag of frozen green beans in the left over grease until the were slightly browned.
Picture below are the franks rolled in cheese on the baking pan (be sure to use a silicone mat or parchment paper) and about 1/3 a cup of green beans.
My estimates are as follows:
Calories: 1958
Net Carbs: 23g
Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber and/or sugar alcohols. These do not affect your blood sugar like other carbs and sugars do.

My blood sugar this morning before eating was 113. This evening before eating it was 109. I took a walk and checked it again. It was 96.
These numbers may seem a little high, but in December before I started my journey, my morning glucose was averaging around 126 and after meals it was sometimes over 200. Those numbers scared me! I've never been diagnosed with diabetes, but it runs in my family. I'm sure I have pre-diabetes at the very least, but I know what foods to avoid to keep my blood sugar out of those dangerously high numbers.
I'm hoping my blood sugar continues to fall along with my weight!
Happy Low Carbing!
